The primary use of the CRC PMIC's PWM is for LCD panel backlight control by the i915 driver. Due to its complexity the probe() function of the i915 driver does not support -EPROBE_DEFER handling. So far the pwm-crc driver must be built into the kernel to ensure that the pwm_get() done by the i915 driver succeeds at once (rather then returning -EPROBE_DEFER). But the PWM core can load the module from pwm_get() if a module-name is provided in the pwm_lookup associated with the consumer device. Switch to using PWM_LOOKUP_WITH_MODULE() for the lookup added for the Intel integrated GPU, so that the PWM core can load the module from pwm_get() as needed allowing the pwm-crc driver to be safely built as module. This has been successfully tested on an Asus T100TAM with pwm-crc build as a module.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
